via Herbs and Stones

Arms is a two voice digital percussion module.
It is based around a combination of FM synthesis and ring modulation.

Each voice has CV control over decay length, FM mod range, FM mod decay and the frequency of the ring modulator oscillator.
The two identical voices are designed to synthesize a wide range of drum and percussion sounds, from hi hats to harsh snares and low frequency tom toms.

Each CV input accepts 0-5V signals and is protected from voltages above and under the expected CV range.

Parameters:

Length: sets the duration of the percussion sound
Mod range: sets the amount of FM modulation
Mod decay: sets the length of the modulation
Rm freq: sets the frequency of the ring modulation stage oscillator
Trig A: gate/trigger input for voice A
Trig B: gate/trigger input for voice B

width: 12hp
maximum depth: 22mm
Panel material: aluminum
power consumption: +12V 12mA, -12V 8mA
out: 10Vpp signal output
output impedance: 1kΩ
Arms is priced at € 299

Erica Synths Bullfrog Drums. #superbooth 2024


video upload by motobor

"Had the opportunity to try the early prototype of Erica Synths' Bullfrog Drums.
This is going to be a top pick for drum machines once it's out. It's a sample-based drum machine with seven tracks, a simple interface, and an easy-to-use sequencer. Not much info is available yet, but watch for the official release."

Teenage Engineering Featured in "What's New" Preview Tips in Mac Sonoma 14.5



Thought this was interesting. I updated my Mac to Sonoma 14.5 last night. This morning I flipped through the "What's New" tips and saw this. Some exposure for modular synths. Curious how Teenage Engineering managed that. I wasn't researching Teenage Engineering so I don't think Apple did some browser history magic there.

If you've updated to Sonoma 14.5, take a look and let us know if you see the same.

"Twist FM is a very wild chip synth with soundblaster fm chips and gnarly analog filters. It'll launch later this year."

ST Modular - KRAKONG (Duophonic Semi-Modular Sonic Voyager)


video uploads by Stefan Tretau



"KRAKONG is a duophonic generative synthesizer with a sequencer per voice, FM crossover modulation, an additional random modulation sequencer, one multimode filter with VCA, a buffered multiple and a resettable LFO. The design includes a collection of manual controls and connections for patching and CV control.

Each of the unit's two voices consists of a triangle and a square wave oscillator, a shift register sequencer, a decay envelope generator and a filter-based gate. In addition to the two synthesizer voices, which can be manually distributed in the stereo field, a third ring-modulated output of the two voices can be mixed to the main output. The tempo of all sequencers is determined by a clock generator, which can be controlled internally or synchronised externally to any voltage (audio and CV).

This musical instrument has a complete structure that allows for a wide range of sonic possibilities, from rhythmic drum patterns and tamed sonic chaos to textural and rough synth-sounds. The essence of this unit lies in the exploration of the interplay between the elements of the synthesiser, using the three sequencers and filters, manual controls and modulation patch points."
